Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Ganymede M5: multiple different versions

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have verified this problem, and multiple
versions of batik is a  blocking problem that needs to be fixed for
M5. (The reason is the issues with import/export packages vs. require-bundle
which was fixed "at last minute" by re-doing the Orbit S-build
... and if that doesn't sound familar, you haven't been keeping up with
this list. :) You can search this list archive for more information). But,
the earlier one's "don't play well" with the latest one, so anyone
who uses batik bundles must move up to the latest version.  I do not
think the others, xerces, wsdl, javax.xml will cause real problems (though,
it's not great). But, batik will cause things to really not work when multiple
versions are installed. 

Here's what I narrowed down, though
not sure it's the whole story ... 

I used update manager to install just
a few things at a time. After each install, I'd search the plugins directory
for batik bundles. 

One suspect ... BIRT ... was installed
"early on", and found it did use the correct, latest version
of batik.transcoder (org.apache.batik.transcoder_1.6.0.v200802090005.jar).

After a few more things, I picked the
whole "modeling and modeling tools" category, and an older version
was installed (org.apache.batik.transcoder_1.6.0.v200711021015.jar). 

Tsk. tsk. Not only is this "old",
it's "real old" ... going back two whole S-builds ... the M4
level still! There is a ton of stuff in that "models and modeling
tools" category, so I have 
no idea which was the culprit ... but,
suspect that narrows it down a little. 

I am not sure if there are other culprits
or not, but everyone should check if you use batik, and make sure you are
picking up the v200802090005 version. (I used 'transcoder' as a reference,

not sure if all batik bundles have that
same version). 

I've opened bug 219919 to track. 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=219919

Hope this helps, Let us know if questions/problems.

Subject:	[cross-project-issues-dev] Ganymede M5: multiple different versions        of Orbit bundles?

---

Hi there,
 
looking at my Full Ganymede M5 install, I
notice that there are some
bundles duplicated with different versions.
I'm not sure if that can
make a bad impact, or how bad the impacat
may be... but does
anybody feel responsible for not building
on top of the latest 
recommended Orbit build?
 
Bundles in question are:
< javax.wsdl
< javax.xml
< org.apache.batik.bridge
< org.apache.batik.css
< org.apache.batik.dom
< org.apache.batik.dom.svg
< org.apache.batik.ext.awt
< org.apache.batik.parser
< org.apache.batik.svggen
< org.apache.batik.transcoder
< org.apache.batik.util
< org.apache.batik.xml
< org.apache.commons.codec
< org.apache.commons.logging
< org.apache.xerces
< org.apache.xml.resolver
< org.apache.xml.serializer
< org.w3c.dom.svg
If anybody wants to verify, and has problems
accessing the Staging site,
current Ganymede is now available as an archived
update site with
.pack.gz bundles only (290MB total):
